It should work as you describe, but at the dataset level you must
define the new edit mask using a field name NOT the domain name. The
domain definitions are only used at the connection level.

PS. I cannot remember exactly what I said in my previous posting on
this issue, but I just checked the code and the effective order of
searching goes...

Search statement Fields* for Table.FieldName
Search statement Fields* for FieldName
Search connection Fields* for Table.FieldName
Search connection Fields* for FieldName
Search connection Fields* for Domain
Search connection Fields* for sqltype
